When will the bikes pay for
When will the bikes pay for the actual street space taken up?
For example:
2 lane street with 2 bike lanes:
2 x 11 ft = 22 ft for cars
2 x 5 ft - 10 for for bikes
1/3 of this hypothetical street area is for bikes. Shouldn’t the bikers pay for that space?
Additionally it appears that bike lanes will cost over $100 million on the proposed Columbia River Crossing bridge. How should the bike community pay that?
Thanks
